Eliminating company cars

We were told that the company needs to eliminate expenses so they eliminated a significant number of company cars in proximity. If you need to go out to the field, you now have to rent a car. Not really cost effective. Many of the cars are 7-10 yrs old and were already depreciated

This will impact the quality of claim handling. A few years ago, they layed off 1/3 of the proximity workforce. When anyone leaves, they replace that person with a hub employee. No thought or care by management about how best to handle claims.

Morale was low but now there is none.

Town Hall today. Company cars in SIU reduced from 600 to 40.

The area that lost cars was SIU.

I am in proximity and will receive a new company car in November, OP doesn’t know what they are talking about clearly.

I have my doubts about this post. I’m on CAT and I have several friends in prox. We are all made to order a new company vehicle once our work vans hit a certain age and mileage. I wish people would stop coming on here and telling lies. The only people riding around in rental cars are those whose work vehicles are on backorder or those whose work vehicles are in the shop.

@2sdv Hey, leave my outdated uniform out of this!

@2sdv You ain't seen nothing yet!

@2qtv-no one wants to hear your political nonsense or your outdated and uniformed comments. You are so easy to identify by your lack of contemporary knowledge. Just leave the site for employees as it was intended.

Look @1nsz is exhibiting minion mo--n thinking. This is why their career was a failure.

Yet they build a new hanger and buy four new Jets for executives. Important to have jets so you can go to the Super Bowl, Disney and to Europe for the agent trips. Maybe they should rent a car!

With the way the world is today, put all proximity back in office and all WFH into hubs to clean up the mess. Make ALL play on even ground including mgmt up to VP.

Good! The way those proximity workers take care of company property, they don't deserve that privilege. I've seen company cars with fast food molded under seats. Stained seats, paint deteriorated from no wax, scratched to death, cracked windshields, and just plain nasty. Tells a lot about the claim handler. Rental cars interesting. Next move is have independents do their job. Even more cost effective.

@ois is the disgruntled retiree with no life that constantly adds nonsense and political,comments to this site.

And you are the company accountant? How do you know what the costs were vs what they’ll be now?

How much of an expense can they be??

The company used to sell older fleet cars to employees & agents at one time.
